An Arctic Giant.

The Burr Robbins new Gigantic
Show certainly have a genuine sur
prise in store for the public this
year, in the person of his whale
ship a monster North-Sea whale cap
tured lately by an English Seal fish
ing outfit and brought into Liver.
pool where its purchase, by a rep
resentative of Mr.. Robbins, was
made. The clever recital of a most
exciting chase and its capture as
given in a late issue Of the Liverpool
DAILY Truth, is to lengthy for space
here but various Authorities soon
pronounced it a real "arctic whale"
Whalemen claim it to be the very
largest whale they eyer saw in or
out of the water, and it is also the
only one of its gigantic species ever
exhibited in any country.
The immense transparent tank
containing the huge Oceanic giant
is of course many times the largest
portable aquarium W constructed
in this country, and in transit the
whole occupies the longest railroad
car ever built, and having o tonnage
of 10000 pounds capacity. 1t does
seem impossible to transport such
a colossal cargo for exhibition, but
Mr.. Robbins has made that matter
a feasible one as it is presented tc
view daily in the aquarium tent
and to see which, mot q penny's
extra charge is made," as the bills
say. The Whale is d very absorbing
attraction, but the advertisement il
this paper promises hundreds o
! other special features, many Of then
now exhibited for the first tins, an,
one OF which is a complete show il
itself.
The show in general is fully up t,
its past high plane of merit, and ii
largely increased proportions anc
superior attractions coupled with it
reputable high toned character i
sure to tempt a larger patronag
than has ever before been given t
any tented show in this city. Tn
Whale and the great show will b
here OH Friday, September 9th, an,
don't you forget it.

Mr.. VIII. Morgan, merchant, Lake

cold, attended with a distressing
cough and running into consump.
ton in its first stage. He tried
many socalled popular cough reme-
dies and steadily grew worse. Was
reduced in flesh, had difficulty in
breathing and was unable to sleep.
Finally tried DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption and found
immediate relief, and after using
about a half dozen bottles found
himself well and has had no return
of the disease. No other remedy
can show so grand a record of cures,
as Dir. Kings New Discovery for
consumption guaranteed to do just
what is claimed for it.--Trial bottles

AN ENGLISH TORPEDO BOAT.

The illustration shows a torpedo boat,
No. 20, just submitted to a trial by the
British government. Its number would indi-
cate that there were seventy y-eight similar
boats to be constructed. On the trial trip the
boat was put to the most severe tests to satisfy
the admiralty board and the speed realized sur
passed anything heretofore found in vessels
of similar character. On a continuous run
of two hours duration the boat sailed dis
tance of nearly ffty-two miles. Two miles
were made at the rate of twenty-six and a
balf miles an hour. Then the maneuvering
of the boat was tested. When going ahead
she turned i'll fifty-eight seconds in a circle
whose diameter was eigbty-ive yards, when
backing she turned in circle of sixty-five
yards diameter in sixty-live seconds. Some
of the larger torpedo boats in the British serv-
ice have been named Rattlesnake, Grass
hopper, Spider. No. 70 should be
named the Eel from the way in which she
could squirm around among hostile fleet.
She is but 125 feet long, with beam Of thir-
teen feet. She possesses two steering towers
connected to each of which are two torpedo
guns. There is also torpedo gun built into
the bow of the boat for direct ahead fire
